I am not an American, and I think I can count on one hand the number of spam messages and calls I have gotten over, say, the last 10 years. Oh, all right, call it two hands. I have no filtering service of any kind. For Americans to suffer this so, there really seems to be something wrong somewhere, or possibly very right where I am.
- elorant 5y agoYeap, same here. I live in an EU country, and I receive like one spam call every quarter usually from an energy provider.
- ailef 5y agoI'm not American as well, and I receive lots of spam calls (average of a couple per day I'd say). I now have developed a "feeling" on whether or not I have to pick up the call, based on if I'm expecting a call, country code, similarities with previous spam phone numbers, etc... It's really annoying.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoIt's because the US/Canada is a very large homogenous (single-language) a d relatively wealthy target. Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, etc. not so much.
- rootusrootus 5y agoMore likely it's just luck. I get a couple spam calls a day. My wife gets them almost never. We're both American.
